The Teachings of Inner Ramana

30. First notice the false "I" then stop listening to its chatter

"It's time to go beyond everything you've learned. Everything you've learned has been helpful. It's been helpful toward willingness to take this next step. But without the step that we are taking together now, all that you've learned serves no real purpose toward awakening." - excerpt from the "Looking at the False 'I' Thought" message in the book The Teachings of Inner Ramana. This final podcast episode is Part 13 from a 13-episode series of video teachings by Regina on her book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠"Teachings of Inner Ramana⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Teachings-Inner-Ramana-Regina-Akers/dp/B09P4SJDPC]."

29. What to do with resistance

"Understand that all resistance comes from your willingness to listen to resistance before. It is an echo from the past that is being picked up and heard now. To listen to it again is like shouting into a cave again. The echo will only return." - excerpt from The Circus and the Meadow message in the book, The Teachings of Inner Ramana. This episode was part 12 in a series of video teachings by Regina on her book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠"Teachings of Inner Ramana⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Teachings-Inner-Ramana-Regina-Akers/dp/B09P4SJDPC]" and was first uploaded in November, 2012.

28. More on "The Circus and the Meadow"

"When the mind is not occupied in the silence of the mantra, let it be used for the purpose of surrender. This way the mind is always used purposefully, and one's toes will wiggle and curl delightfully as they feel the coolness of the meadow's ground beneath them." - excerpt from "The Circus and the Meadow" This episode is from a series of video teachings by Regina on her book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠"Teachings of Inner Ramana⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Teachings-Inner-Ramana-Regina-Akers/dp/B09P4SJDPC]" and was originally uploaded in November, 2012.

27. Surrender is a means of living in the world while releasing your attachment to the circus

Regina continues to teach from the "The Circus and the Meadow" message. "The body remains, as do the senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. In this way, interaction with the world is non-avoidable as long as the image of the world remains in the mind. Attachment to the world continues to build the image of the world and all of the false concepts its represents. Non-attachment through surrender releases the world within the mind, which allows a slowing of its images and a fading of illusion from sight." - excerpt from the "The Circus and the Meadow" message in the book The Teachings of Inner Ramana.

26. The Circus and the Meadow

Regina shares from the message "The Circus and the Meadow" in her book The Teachings of Inner Ramana. This is how that message starts: "The mind is very active. If you watch it you will see it is much like acrobats in a circus. It is always jumping this way and that, bending and turning, and it has some very amazing moves. But it is a circus. It is not at all representative of reality. In fact, it is a complete distraction from reality. You will never notice reality if you remain focused on the circus act of the mind."
